Really surprised to see this AAR back on forum. I was once trying to continue but could not find it from forum except from my signature. It seems that the upgrade of server made it live again. Let me see if I can find my old savefiles and remember what I was trying to do.

I spotted it in your signature too, as it was too deep in depths of Vicky:AAR forum to possibly find it. I know...I read it, then my brother wanted to see it too and I searched in vain AAR forum
Really surprised to see this AAR back on forum.
Yaay
Urraaa!Really surprised to see this AAR back on forum.
Hello guys! Merry Christmas! I have a Christmas gift for your! Guess what? I found my old save files! You are going to witness a new chapter of Krakowian history soon!

Although Krakow has been at war with France, another superpower for almost eight years, the two sides have never exchanged fire at any moment. The war serves nothing but diplomatic and propoganda purposes. Conquering Annam and Cambodia did cost a few lives, but still no challenge.
United States is, young though, a vast country (smaller than Krakow still). To bring such a great nation onto her knees, existing Krakow military may not be enough. Moreover, if Krakow armies failed to tie all American division on their homeland, with no warship to talk about, it will be disaster to Krakow's overseas interests.
Chief of Staff, on behalf of the war carbinet, presented the following plan to His Majesty:
1) War will be declared in no later than September 1843 when Krakow's military alliance with United Kingdom expires. Request UK intervention as soon as war breaks out.
2) In addition to existing 12 northern Indian cavalry divisions with hausser brigades, 12 brigaded infantry divisions will be recruited and trained in southern India before the outbreak of war.
3) Diplomatic negotiation with UK to acquire their colonial buildings in Washington/Oregan/Idaho. 6 calvalry divisions to eliminate local resistance immediately after the outbreak of war and advance eastwards from there.
4) Another 6 calvalry divisions to disguise themselves as local "Red Indians", sneak alongside UK/US border towards Ontario from the west, either to protect Ontario or to invade along the south coast of the Great Lakes.
5) 6 infantry divisions will be stationed in Quebec. They will attack from there to US's industrial heartland of New England area.
6) The last 6 infantry divisions will be sent to west Africa to knock Liberia out of the war first. Then they will land at Maryland or Delaware area and try to sack Washington DC at speed, hopefully with little resistance as most US divisions will be on their way either westwards or northerwards to meet Krakow forces. US forces in the south may still be tied up by Mexican army or are at least too far away to rush back and save DC.

25 August 1843. WAR!!!
UK was soon called upon. Here is the National Army Comparison at the outbreak of war. Note that France was at a separate colonial war versus Krakow instead of at the same full scale war between US/Liberia vs UK/Krakow.

Time to kick some yankees!
Go Krakow troops, burn down Washington again! (Ask the British how to do, if you don't know )

Battles on the land went on very well. Washington/Oregon/Idaho became part of glorious Kindom of Krakow on Day One of the war. Troops regrouped as 2nd Calvalry Army Corp and advance into Dakota, facing no resistance at all. 1st Calvalry Army Corp did not manage to arrive in Ontario in time. Therefore, they turned south at Winnipeg, invaded from Minnesota towards Chicago. 1st Infantry Army Corp only enjoyed very few good days when taking Easton, Maine. Soon they were challenged by US. Although Krakow troops had a numerical supremacy of 7:1, hilly and woody terrain made combat casualty much higher than expected. 2nd Infantry Army Corp landed at Freetown. Liberia had two divisions to guard their captial, but obviouly no match to Krakow's "Afrikan Korp".
Two weeks into the war, bad news came from America. Instead of taking the advantage and to counterattack US troops on Mexican soil, Mexico agreed truce with USA. About 10 US divisions were freed and reportedly were rushing all the way up north to stop Krakow calvalries.
"Cowards!" Krawow was furious on Mexico's decision to pull out of the war. Krakow entered the war because of Mexico, and Pope's secret request. Now, Krakow is left to fight USA alone. Well, not really, with the assistance from, ironically, a protestant United Kingdom!
What people didn' know yet was that a more scary and potentially disastrous news would arrive a few days later, from the Atlantic!
Because Krakow had no navy to talk about, Krakow's victorious troops in Africa would have to wait until Royal Navy had neutralise US Navy, then to be ferried to America. What Krakow troops did not expect was that just before they were to land, a mighty French fleet all of a sudden showed up and started shelling Krakow convoys!
Krakow requested help from nearby British patrol. Britain refused to help! The reason was simple - Britain was NOT at war with France! Utterly gutted, but difficult to argue, Krakow retreated to The Bahamas. Fortunately, although severely damaged, no ship was sunk. If Krakow was not so lucky, 25% of Krakow's military, over 70000 lives would have been lost! The troops were forced to rest on the beaches in Bahamas whilest their brothers were fighting to their death. Admittedly, quite many infantrymen had been so shocked that were deemed unfit for any further combat.
First Sea Lord was forced to resign. People on the streets were shouting "We need a navy! We need warships!". Despite publish gathering were still officially banned in Krakow, King gave exception to patriotic public meetings so as to beat war exhaustion and defeatism. Before long, announcement was made: two man-o-war are under contruction in Sydney, New South Wales!

United Kingdom seemed to have encountered serious financial difficulty after losing India to Krakow. In 1844, international credit agency Benchmark & Rich's downgraded UK's credit rating. Krakow for the first time in history is recognised as The Superpower in the world, although UK took the title back before long.
Back to The Bahamas, after a few weeks, Krakow made another attempt to land on American east coast (USA does not have a west coast anyway). This time in North Carolina, it was a great success. Along the coast, Krakow marched on and took US's naval base of Norfolk, forcing USN to engage mighty Royal Navy. Manassas fell shortly, leaving DC open to invading forces. 22 March 1844, for the second time in US history, Washington DC was occupied by foreign troops!
